IN MY NEIGHBORHOOD NOW.

I STUDY THEM.THEY'RE FASCINATING.

I THINK IT'S GREAT.

I THINK IT'S GREAT IF SOMEONEWANTS TO BE A DRAG QUEEN.

I THINK THAT'S WONDERFUL

IF YOU WANT TO, LIKE,EXPRESS YOUR INNER WOMAN.

BUT WHY WITH DRAG QUEENS IS ITALWAYS THE SAME TYPE OF WOMAN?

LIKE, WHY IS IT ALWAYSLIKE A BIG AND BRASSY WOMAN

WITH, LIKE, A BEEHIVE HAIRDOAND ALLIGATOR-SKIN SHOES?

IT'S LIKE, "WHAT IS YOUR NOTIONOF A WOMAN BASED ON?

A HOUSEWIFEIN A 'FAR SIDE' CARTOON?"

[ LAUGHTER,CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ]

"WHY IS THAT WHAT YOU THINKFEMININITY IS?"

AND THEN THESE DRAG QUEENS,

THEY'LL GO OUT ON THE STREET,AND THEY'LL BULLY ME.

THEY WILL.

THEY'LL BE LIKE, "OH-HO, LOOKAT HIM IN HIS LITTLE SHIRT."

IT'S LIKE,"WHY ARE YOU MEAN?" YOU KNOW?

"WHY IS THAT PART OF IT FOR YOU?

"AND IT'S NOT LITTLE.IT'S A MEDIUM.

"SMALL IS LITTLE.

"YOU WENT THROUGH ALL THETROUBLE TO PUT ON A NICE DRESS,

AND NOW YOU'RE GONNA BE RUDEAND BOSSY TO PEOPLE?"

IT'S LIKE,

"DO YOU KNOW WHAT YOUR VERSIONOF A LADY IS A LOT LIKE?

"A GUY.

"YOU COULD HAVE STAYED A GUY

IF YOU WERE GONNA BEAN [BLEEP] ABOUT IT."

[ LAUGHTER,CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ]YES.
